The MP100 MM/MC phono preamplifier is the first dedicated phonostage in McIntosh's revered history. Featuring adjustable, loading moving-coil and moving-magnet inputs with six settings for each, plus balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, the made-in-the-U.S.A. MP100 is fully geared to produce high-end sound distinguished by the immersive warmth, subtle details, emotional immediacy, and vast spaciousness for which LPs are prized. The transparent, painstakingly accurate device also includes a Mono switch that optimizes the experience of mono LPs by reducing noise and reproducing the signal correctly.

But the compact three-inch-tall, 11.5-inch-wide MP100 goes even further. Equipped with optical, coax, and USB digital outputs, as well as an internal A2D converter that encodes PCM, this stellar phonostage allows you to rip your LPs to a computer and produce high-quality 24-bit/96Hz archival files. Plus, if a particular LP has an extremely loud passage, a clipping indicator alerts you so to lower the digital output to get a distortion-free recording. Inside, a multi-regulated power supply, noise-free electromagnetic input switching, and precision phono preamp circuits all ensure tremendous sonic performance. And it goes without saying that, externally as well as internally, MP100 boasts McIntosh's peerless hand-crafted build via a signature glass black faceplate, LED front-panel illumination, and stainless-steel chassis. Equally at home as a way to add turntable capabilities to an existing preamplifier or as the anchor of a new stereo setup, MC100 is legendary McIntosh quality through and through.
